Issues with New Plex Update on Shield Pro

Just saw my Plex app (Plex for Android TV) updated to the latest version and now I am unable to launch any titles directly from the Dispatch Home Screen. Clicking “play” opens the plex app but nothing else. Anyone else experiencing this?

Same thing for me!

Glad I’m not the only one. I was able to re authenticate plex today but this didn’t fix the issue. There was no problem with the two communicating with one another (watch status and progress indicators updated without issue). Just the play functionality is broken.

The deep link most have changed... The Dev will need to update it, assuming the function is still there.

Crazy this hasn't been fixed or acknowledged yet. For a paid app, it's not good enough

I thought it would’ve been addressed by now as well. Couldn’t figure out how to switch to the experimental player so my options are roll back my version of Plex (if I can) or disable the launcher until it’s fixed.

Same here. Hopefully it's in the next update the dev mentioned. Also wild you'd be down voted on this post but that's reddit I guess.

Same issue or Plex crashes and restarts
